- For those who can't wait until August's Burning Man to set stuff ablaze, there's always Crucible's Fire Arts Festival. The West Oakland industrial-arts hotbed hosts four nights of white-hot daredevilry and combustible spectacles. Ticket prices are a little steep, but it's hard to imagine where else you'll get the chance to use a Flamethrower Shooting Gallery or marvel at fire vortexes and a steampunk tree house. Plus, the whole festival benefits the Crucible, a unique community-based workshop for aspiring metallurgists, neon sculptors, and glassblowers.
